Yet taxpayers are paying their rent for them.

Is there any of these "impending homelessness" stories legit?

Are the people who rent privately/pay mortgages mugs?

Yes I think we are.

You'd have to go to his facebook page for those kind of facts. They wouldn't fit well beside the sad face picture abd woe is me story in the journal

Where does it say anything about TVs cars or dogs?

He may have got redundancy. I don't bother with facebuke or comments in de journal.
Next of all we'll be adding links to Politics.ie for God's sake.

I loled because I read the article as "Family being face kicked out of rental home"

Now that would have been a story.

Omg, obviously this family must represent all people who face losing their homes without exception.

The nerve.

So himself and the family are homeless (living with his mother and decide to have a third child) and their priorities are a brand new car and a 70"tv, leaving them unable to pay their rent in their new hap house.
But that's ok because Jimmy taxpayer will sub them?

Nah

enzo roco

His brother posted about the car.
He bought it for his brother, and pays €260 a month for it. Getting kicked out of their family home, so the brother buys a 162d car, makes sense.

Reading the article and the comments, they deserve no sympathy.

Her cousin also posted about the car, said it was a company car :pac:

If that was the case, wouldn't the company recieve the speeding fine?

Just leaving it up there.

Mod: No you're not. No facebook links please.

No one needs money for a brand new car.
PCP finance?

What's a dog got to do with anything?

Jesus from some of the lads in here, unless your on €100k a year you should be living in a granny flat eating pot noodles every night with no TV and the heating most definitely off

Why is it always the ones taking the p1ss who are making the headlines undermining peoples sympathy for genuine cases for people who are in real trouble

Its as if its on purpose....

Can't he live under the TV?

So basically people are trawling through his Facebook looking for things to get offended at.

At least one person did and brought it to the attention of everyone else I guess.

Stories like this smack of poor journalism and undermine the credibility of people who are genuinely in need of social housing.

I think that's what offends more than anything.

No. The recent big tatoos and the abundance of concert tickets for both here and abroad would have neen mentioned too if that was the case

steddyeddy

It's a story about a person possibly abusing the system. Not representive lf the majority of people who get state aid. By writing a story like this the Journal is bringing more stigma to social welfare. It's pathetic.

Is there a point? One guy on dole or whatever has tattoos. The Wall Street Journal missed a beat by not publishing this.

Stunned at this lapse in standards from the bastion of integrity that is the journal.ie

There seems to be plenty of money when it comed to treating themselves. Housing their family doesn't seem to be a priority for them. If housing their family isn't top priority for them maybe the state needs to step in and remove their children.

100% of poster people so far for the homeless camaigns are not all they are portrayed.

So boards has turned into a place for doxing? jameorahiely & jimmycrackcorm, don't suppose you'd like to post your facebook profiles? Maybe address and telephone too.

Standing for a sad face picture in the journal kinda doxes yourself.

can't HSH organise a whip round for them?

CalamariFritti

I think its a perfectly legit question to raise. Why would someone who obviously has enough money to spend on what I would call non essentials and luxury items has to be housed by the tax payer? And if that someone decides to 'go public' with their (non) sob story they will then scrutinised by the public. You get what you ask for.
